InHome Services

CHORE, Companion and Homemaker Services

Persons age 60 or older who live in a house or apartment, rent or own, are eligible for affordable help with housecleaning, minor home repairs, yard work and more through InHome Services.

The InHome Services worker’s objective is to make sure they complete tasks requested by the client that will contribute to maintaining a safe and healthy environment for them. Those who lack other means of obtaining services are particularly encouraged to use this program.

Clients are asked to make a voluntary contribution for the worker’s services based on their income. All clients are expected to provide cleaning and lawn care supplies along with the necessary equipment. They should be prepared to pay for any materials installed in their home, such as a smoke detector.

The InHome Service worker can provide a variety of services to the client. These include:

• Shopping / Errands
• Medical or Business Appointment Escort
• Companion / Friendly Visitor
• Minor Handyman Jobs (such as installation of safety equipment or smoke detectors)
• Yard Work (such as lawn mowing, raking, hedge trimming)
• Housecleaning (tasks that are necessary for the maintenance of a safe and healthy environment)
